Environment, Social, and Governance Results
10% Reduction in CO2 Emissions throughout All Buildings
Our new R&D Building #2 (opened in 2016) and the Capcom Technical Center are equipped with LED lighting and displacement air conditioning systems, which reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 10%* overall versus previous levels.
* Assumes energy consumption of 100% without introduction of this equipment.
Opening an On-site Day Care Center
In addition to adopting maternity leave/childcare leave and shortened working hour systems, Capcom opened a day care center, Capcom Juku, near our office in April 2017. In recognition of efforts such as these, we have been awarded the Kurumin mark since 2014.
Community Building Support for Senior Citizens
Today, amusement facilities, otherwise known as video game arcades, are increasingly popular among senior citizens as spaces for interacting with others. In order to make these facilities more comfortable for seniors to use, Capcom has been holding free video game arcade tours for seniors since 2012.
Promoting Diversity
Capcom strives to provide a workplace where women can excel and actively hires non-Japanese employees as well. While the Japanese game industry is generally known for being a male- dominated industry, some 20% of our employees are female and we have 25 female managers (representing 11.4% of managers overall).
Supporting Education and Regional Vitalization Across Japan
As a good corporate citizen trusted by society, Capcom strives to support education through efforts such as on-site classes offered to children. We also endeavor to support regional vitalization through our popular video game characters and through efforts to boost public safety and order.

Governance Reform Initiatives
Generally, an owner-run company excels at flexibility and fast decision making, though concerns may exist over the difficulty of passing on management to the next generation. At Capcom, we strive to make management more transparent and visible, and have implemented various governance reforms. We proactively appoint external directors, with 50% of our directors now external directors.
